HALLANDALE

city, Broward county, southeastern Florida, U.S. It lies along the Atlantic coast, just north of Miami. Settled by Scandinavian farmers in the 1890s, it was named for Luther Halland, a trading-post operator. The growth of the community was crippled by hurricanes in 1906, 1910, and 1926. A construction program, begun in 1960, has resulted in a tourism-based economy. Hallandale's Gulfstream Park, with its garden of champions (displaying plaques honouring great thoroughbred horses), is the home of the annual Florida Derby (March). Inc. town, 1927; city, 1950. Pop. (1990) 30,996.
